Description

THIENOPYRIMIDIENE DERIVATIVES AS PI3K INHIBITORS

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to indolyl thienopyrimidine compounds and to their use as inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K).

Background to the Invention

Phosphatidylinositol (hereinafter abbreviated as "PI") is one of a number of phospholipids found in cell membranes. In recent years it has become clear that PI plays an important role in intracellular signal transduction, hi the late 1980s, a PB kinase (PI3K) was found to be an enzyme which phosphorylates the 3 -position of the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol (M. Whitman et al, 1988, Nature, 332, 644-646).

PI3K was originally considered to be a single enzyme, but it has now been clarified that a plurality of subtypes are present in PI3K. Each subtype has its own mechanism for regulating activity. Three major classes of PI3Ks have been identified on the basis of their in vitro substrate specificity (B. Vanhaesebroeck et al, 1997, Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 22, 267-272). Substrates for class I PBKs are PI, PI 4-phosphate (PI4P) and PI 4,5- biphosphate (PI (4,5)P2). Class I PBKs are further divided into two groups, class Ia and class Ib, in terms of their activation mechanism. Class Ia PBKs include PBK pi 10a, pi lOβ and pi lOδ subtypes, which transmit signals from tyrosine kinase-coupled receptors. Class Ib PBK includes a pi 1 Oy subtype activated by a G protein-coupled receptor. PI and PI(4)P are known as substrates for class II PBKs. Class II PBKs include PBK C2α, C2β and C2γ subtypes, which are characterized by containing C2 domains at the C terminus. The substrate for class III PBKs is PI only. hi the PBK subtypes, the class Ia subtype has been most extensively investigated to date. The three subtypes of class Ia are heterodimers of a catalytic 110 kDa subunit and regulatory subunits of 85 kDa or 55 kDa. The regulatory subunits contain SH2 domains and bind to tyrosine residues phosphorylated by growth factor receptors with a tyrosine kinase activity or oncogene products, thereby inducing the PBK activity of the pi 10 catalytic subunit which phosphorylates its lipid substrate. Thus, the class Ia subtypes are considered to be associated with cell proliferation and carcinogenesis, immune disorders and conditions involving inflammation. WO 01/083456 decribes a series of condensed heteroaryl derivatives which have activity as inhibitors of PD K and which suppress cancer cell growth.

Summary of the Invention

It has now been found that a series of novel thienopyrimidine compounds have activity as inhibitors of PBK. The compounds exhibit selectivity for the pi lOδ subtype of PB kinase, over both other class Ia and class Ib PBKs. Accordingly, the present invention provides a compound which is a thienopyrimidine of formula (I):

Table 1

and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Synthetic strategies for producing thienopyrimidines of formula (I) via suitable precursor compounds, and the production of those precursors, is depicted in the synthetic schemes 1 to 13 which follow in the Examples section.

One suitable synthetic strategy for producing a thienopyrimidine of formula (I) employs the precursor carboxaldehyde of formula (II):

wherein W is as defined above. Starting from this precursor the synthesis comprises performing, in either order, a reductive animation and a palladium-mediated (Suzuki-type) cross-coupling reaction.

A compound of the invention may thus be produced by a process which comprises treating a compound of formula (II):

wherein W is as defined above, with an amine of formula NHR^laR^2a in which R^la and R^2a are as defined above for R¹ and R², or R^la and R^2a are as defined above for R¹ and R² wherein an N atom is present and is protected by an amine protecting group, in the presence of a suitable reducing agent; treating the resulting compound of formula (IV):

wherein W, R^la and R^2a are as defined above, with a boronic acid or ester thereof of formula R⁴ B(OR¹⁵)₂ in which R⁴ is selected from a group R⁴ as defined above and a group R⁴ as defined above in which the indole N atom is protected, and each R¹⁵ is H or Ci-C₆ alkyl or the two groups OR¹⁵ form, together with the boron atom to which they are attached, a pinacolato boronate ester group, in the presence of a Pd catalyst; and, if R⁴ , R^la and/or R^2a includes an amine protecting group, removing the protecting group. Any suitable amine protecting groups may be used in R^la and/or R^2a, for instance a t-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) group. Any suitable group may be used to protect the indole N atom, for instance a t-butyldimethylsilyl group.

A compound of formula (I) may also be produced by a process which comprises treating a compound of formula (II):

wherein W is as defined above, with a boronic acid or ester thereof of formula R⁴B(OR¹⁵)₂ in which R⁴ is as defined above and each R¹⁵ is H or C₁-C₆ alkyl, or the two groups OR¹⁵ form, together with the boron atom to which they are attached, a pinacolato boronate ester group, in the presence of a Pd catalyst; treating the resulting compound of formula (III):

wherein W and R⁴ are as defined above, with an amine of formula NHR^laR^2a in which R^la and R^2a are as defined above, in the presence of a suitable reducing agent; and, if R^la and/or R^2a includes an amine protecting group, removing the protecting group. In this embodiment of the process the N atom of the indole group R⁴ may, if necessary, be protected before the compound of formula (III) is treated with the amine of formula NHR^laR^2a . In that case the indole protecting group is removed in a subsequent step, using conventional methodology.

Both the reductive animation step and the Pd-mediated cross-coupling step take place under conventional conditions. The palladium catalyst may be any that is typically used for Suzuki-type cross-couplings, such as PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂. The reducing agent in the animation step is typically a borohydride, for instance NaBH(OAc)₃, NaBH₄ or NaCNBH₃, in particular NaBH(OAc)₃.

Alternatively, a compound of formula (I) may also be produced by a process which comprises treating a compound of formula (II) as defined above with a reducing agent, to reduce the -CHO functionality to -CH₂OH, and then treating the resulting compound with an agent which converts the OH moiety into a leaving group, thereby yielding a compound of formula (V):

wherein L is a leaving group. Suitable examples of leaving groups include chloro, bromo, tosylate and mesylate groups. The compound of formula (V) is then treated with an amine of formula NHR^laR^2a in which R^la and R^2a are as defined above, in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate or cesium carbonate in a solvent such as DMF, to yield a compound of formula (I). This strategy is depicted in scheme 6 which follows.

A variation in the synthetic strategy for producing a thienopyrimidine of formula (I) entails attaching the group R⁴ to the thienopyrimidine core by Suzuki coupling and then protecting the indole N atom of the group R⁴. The process comprises treating a compound of formula (VI):

in which W is as defined above, P is a toluenesulfonyl group and R^4a is a group R⁴ as defined above in which the indole N atom is protected by toluenesulfonyl, with a compound NHR^laR^2a as defined above under suitable conditions. The indole N atom is protected by any suitable protecting group, for instance a toluenesulfonyl group. All protecting groups are removed subsequently, using conventional methodology. This strategy is illustrated in scheme 8 which follows.

Thienopyrimidines of formula (I) may be converted into pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and salts may be converted into the free compound, by conventional methods.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include salts of inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid and sulfuric acid, and salts of organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, methanesulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, benzoic acid, citric acid and tartaric acid. In the case of compounds of the invention bearing a free carboxy substituent, the salts include both the above-mentioned acid addition salts and the salts of sodium, potassium, calcium and ammonium. The latter are prepared by treating the free thienopyrimidine of formula (I), or an acid addition salt thereof, with the corresponding metal base or ammonia.

Compounds of the present invention have been found in biological tests to be inhibitors of PD kinase. The compounds are selective for the pi lOδ isoform, which is a class Ia PI3 kinase, over other class Ia PI3 kinases. They are thus selective for the pi lOδ isoform over both the pi 10a isoform and the pi lOβ isoform. hi particular they are selective for pi lOδ over pi lOβ. The compounds are also selective for the pi lOδ isoform over pi 1Oy, which is a class Ib kinase. The selectivity exhibited by compounds of the invention for pi lOδ over other iso forms of PI3 kinase is at least 2-fold. Typically the selectivity is 5-fold, or 10-fold, or 20- fold, or 50-fold, rising to 100-fold or higher in many cases. Thus the compounds may be 2- fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, 20-fold, 50-fold or 100-fold selective for pi lOδ over pi lOβ. They may also be 2-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, 20-fold, 50-fold or 100-fold selective for pi lOδ over pi 10a or over pl lOγ .

A compound of the present invention may be used as an inhibitor of PI3 kinase, in particular of a class Ia PI3 kinase. Accordingly, a compound of the present invention can be used to treat a disease or disorder arising from abnormal cell growth, function or behaviour associated with PI3 kinase, in particular the pi lOδ isoform of PI3 kinase. Examples of such diseases and disorders are discussed by Drees et al in Expert Opin. Ther. Patents (2004) 14(5):703 - 732. These include proliferative disorders such as cancer, immune disorders, cardiovascular disease, viral infection, inflammation, metabolism/endocrine disorders and neurological disorders. Examples of metabolism/endocrine disorders include diabetes and obesity. Examples of cancers which the present compounds can be used to treat include leukaemia, brain tumours, renal cancer, gastric cancer and cancer of the skin, bladder, breast, uterus, lung, colon, prostate, ovary and pancreas.

A compound of the present invention may be used as an inhibitor of PI3 kinase. A human or animal patient suffering from a disease or disorder arising from abnormal cell growth, function or behaviour associated with PI3 kinase, in particular with the pi lOδ isoform of PI3 kinase such as an immune disorder, cardiovascular disease, viral infection, inflammation, a metabolism/endocrine disorder or a neurological disorder, may thus be treated by a method comprising the administration thereto of a compound of the present invention as defined above. A human or animal patient suffering from cancer may also be treated by a method comprising the administration thereto of a compound of the present invention as defined above. The condition of the patient may thereby be improved or ameliorated.

A compound of the present invention can be administered in a variety of dosage forms, for example orally such as in the form of tablets, capsules, sugar- or film-coated tablets, liquid solutions or suspensions or parenterally, for example intramuscularly, intravenously or subcutaneously. The compound may therefore be given by injection or infusion.

The dosage depends on a variety of factors including the age, weight and condition of the patient and the route of administration. Daily dosages can vary within wide limits and will be adjusted to the individual requirements in each particular case. Typically, however, the dosage adopted for each route of administration when a compound is administered alone to adult humans is 0.0001 to 50 mg/kg, most commonly in the range of 0.001 to 10 mg/kg, body weight, for instance 0.01 to 1 mg/kg. Such a dosage may be given, for example, from 1 to 5 times daily. For intravenous injection a suitable daily dose is from 0.0001 to 1 mg/kg body weight, preferably from 0.0001 to 0.1 mg/kg body weight. A daily dosage can be administered as a single dosage or according to a divided dose schedule.

A compound of the invention is formulated for use as a pharmaceutical or veterinary composition also comprising a pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable carrier or diluent. The compositions are typically prepared following conventional methods and are administered in a pharmaceutically or veterinarily suitable form. The compound may be administered in any conventional form, for instance as follows: A) Orally, for example, as tablets, coated tablets, dragees, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, liquid solutions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known in the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavouring agents, colouring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations.

Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, dextrose, saccharose, cellulose, corn starch, potato starch, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, maize starch, alginic acid, alginates or sodium starch glycolate; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin or acacia; lubricating agents, for example silica, magnesium or calcium stearate, stearic acid or talc; effervescing mixtures; dyestuffs, sweeteners, wetting agents such as lecithin, polysorbates or lauryl sulphate. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and adsorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. Such preparations may be manufactured in a known manner, for example by means of mixing, granulating, tableting, sugar coating or film coating processes.

Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is present as such, or mixed with water or an oil medium, for example, peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.

Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl- cellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate.

The said aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example, ethyl or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more colouring agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.

Oily suspension may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol.

Sweetening agents, such as those set forth above, and flavouring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by this addition of an antioxidant such as ascorbic acid. Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, a suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavouring and colouring agents, may also be present.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in- water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oils, or a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring gums, for example gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally occuring phosphatides, for example soy bean lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids an hexitol anhydrides, for example sorbitan mono-oleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsion may also contain sweetening and flavouring agents. Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, sorbitol or sucrose. In particular a syrup for diabetic patients can contain as carriers only products, for example sorbitol, which do not metabolise to glucose or which only metabolise a very small amount to glucose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative and flavouring and coloring agents.

B) Parenterally, either subcutaneously, or intravenously, or intramuscularly, or intrasternally, or by infusion techniques, in the form of sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing of wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic paternally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1, 3 -butane diol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution, hi addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. hi addition fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables. C) By inhalation, in the form of aerosols or solutions for nebulizers.

D) Rectally, in the form of suppositories prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperature but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials are cocoa butter and poly-ethylene glycols. E) Topically, in the form of creams, ointments, jellies, collyriums, solutions or suspensions.

Shifts are given in ppm relative to tetramethylsilane.

Purification by column chromatography:

Compounds purified by column chromatography were purified using silica gel or Isolute® cartridge or Redisep® cartridge, eluting with gradients from 100-0 to 0-100 % of cyclohexane/EtOAc, or from 100-0 to 0-100 % pentane/EtOAc or from 100-0 to 70-30 % DCM/MeOH (with or without the addition OfNH₃ 0.1 %). 'Silica gel' refers to silica gel for chromatography, 0.035 to 0.070 mm (220 to 440 mesh) (e.g. Fluka silica gel 60), and an applied pressure of nitrogen up to 10 p.s.i accelerated column elution. Where thin layer chromatography (TLC) has been used, it refers to silica gel TLC using plates, typically 3 x 6 cm silica gel on aluminium foil plates with a fluorescent indicator (254 run), (e.g. Fluka 60778).

Purification by preparative HPLC:

Compounds purified by preparative HPLC were purified using a C18-reverse-phase column

(100 x 22.5 mm i.d Genesis column with 7 μm particle size, UV detection at 230 or 254 ran, flow 5-15 mL/min), or a Phenyl-Hexyl column (250 x 21.2 mm i.d. Gemini column with 5 μm particle size, UV detection at 230 or 254 nm, flow 5-20 mL/min), eluting with gradients from 100-0 to 0-100 % water/acetonitrile or water/MeOH containing 0.1 % TFA or water/acetonitrile containing 0.1 % formic acid. The free base was liberated by partitioning between EtOAc and a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was dried (MgSO₄) and concentrated in vacuo. Alternatively, the free base was liberated by passing through an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge, eluting with NH₃ in methanol. Microwave Reactions:

Microwave experiments were carried out using a Smith Synthesiser or a Biotage Initiator™, which uses a single-mode resonator and dynamic field tuning, both of which give reproducibility and control. Temperatures from 40-250°C can be achieved and pressures of up to 20bar can be reached.

All solvents and commercial reagents were used as received. Non-commercially available reagents/reactants were prepared according to procedures described in the literature.
